"The essence is clean and clean", is the positioning given to Lin Daiyu through "Funeral Flower Words". This is also Jia Baoyu's most admired personality quality.
Twenty-three times, Bao Dai read the paragraph of "Huizhen Ji" together, Baoyu could not bear the petals that fell on her body and couldn't bear it to fall into the mud, so she shook it into the pool, Daiyu said that after the petals slipped out, she encountered a dirty and smelly place where someone was dirty, and it would spoil these flowers, so it was better to sweep it, put it in a silk bag, and bury it in the flower mound, and it would be soiled over time, wouldn't it be clean!
Daiyu buries flowers and reads the West Chamber, why is it a classic freeze-frame in "Dream of Red Mansions"?It is to say that Bao Dai is highly unified in spirit and aesthetics, and in today's words, it is the same three views.
Since there is unity and consistency, its opposites also have many performances, nineteen times, Baoyu came back from the attacker's house, and a conversation with the attacker, said with emotion
"I beg you to watch over me and watch over me, until one day I will turn into ashes—the ashes are not good, the ashes are still visible, and there is knowledge—and when I turn into a puff of smoke, and the wind blows, it ......will be gone."”As soon as these words came out, the attacker hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, hoping to let Baoyu swallow the words back into his stomach, but he not only disagreed, but resolutely opposed. Baochai Xiangyun also disagrees with Baoyu every day, "Dream of Red Mansions" thirty-two times, persuading Baoyu to say:
"Now that you're older, you don't want to study to take the exam, but you should often meet these people who are officials and rulers, talk about some career economic knowledge, and ...... entertain the world in the future”
Whoever advised Baoyu in this way, he couldn't give people off the stage on the spot, and asked her to talk elsewhere, so that he was careful that his place would tarnish her career and economic knowledge. Regarding Baochai, Xiangyun, and raiders' persuasion of him, Baoyu said that they were defiled by the Lu beetle.
Today's people do not agree with Jia Baoyu's values, believing that he is uneducated and unmotivatedThe Yu family only enjoys the family's support but does not bear the family's responsibilities. On the surface, it seems like this, but Cao Xueqin is in the Red Mansion, and the story is just a trivial story in the big family, and what he wants to talk about behind it is the society in the last days.
In this last days, if you want to achieve something, if you have the ambition and ability, can you achieve it?**At the beginning, the reader is told through the story of Jia Yucun: it doesn't work.
Jia Yucun's knowledge is quite good, he is very confident that he can enter the career through fame, but unfortunately people are too poor, so they have to live in the gourd temple, he also got the financial support of the noble Zhen Shiyin to get the fee to go to the capital, became famous in one fell swoop, and entered the officialdom, Jia Yucun is full of ambition, ready to do a big career, worthy of the promotion of the imperial court, worthy of Li Minshusheng, and he has also completed the realization of the value, not in vain his "jade in the coffin to seek a good price, hairpin in the time to fly" ambition.
Jia Yucun, who wants to do practical things, was scolded in the officialdom not long after, Jia Yucun, who has no foundation, no background, and no attachment to the powerful, is like a novice in the workplace, and if he is not careful, he will get into trouble, and he will be dismissed by his boss when he finds a fault, and finally he will be entrusted to the Lin family to be a teacher.
Jia Yucun, who was educated by the cruel reality, learned to be obedient, he first climbed Lin Ruhai, and then climbed Jia Zheng, Jia Yu, and Wang Ziteng, Jia Yucun is different with the background, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger, but is this okay?Cao Xueqin told the reader the answer: because the yarn hat is small, the shackles are carried. In the end, he ended up with a tragic ending of dismissal and family ruin.
Except for Jia Yucun who gave a panoramic view of fate in **, Zhen Shiyin, the Liu family, and the four major families could not escape the fate of defeat, and under the background of the end times, there was no hope at all, and they were all destroyed in the end.
Jia Baoyu actually gave a relatively normal officialdom ecology, that is, the death of the civil and the martial arts, and he also gave harsh criticism of this, not to mention the end of the world.
In other words, Cao Xueqin gave the general tone of the end times, and gave the decay and stupidity of normal officialdom through the mouth of Jia BaoyuThat society and officialdom ** have room for normal people to live?As an observer, in such an environment, in addition to Yihong, that is, admiring and serving the daughters of the noble boudoir, immersed in the peach blossom garden of the Grand View Garden, he used "Zhuangzi" to nourish his spiritual world.
At this point, all the characters in the whole "Dream of Red Mansions", only Lin Daiyu understands him and stands firmly with him, they all deeply understand the essence of this world, the reason why Lin Daiyu is Jia Baoyu's bosom friend is because their spiritual world is a pure land, that is, the "clean" that has been repeatedly emphasized, this clean, has an attitude to life, and also has the persistence of human nature.
The essence is clean and clean, which can prove that Daiyu's death should be before the complete defeat of Jiafu, and she may even die before the great turmoil in Jiafu, because Cao Gong wants to ensure that the high purity of his heroine's quality can be maintained to the end, so as not to disturb her with those dirty and messy.
Early death is, of course, a tragedy, but if the edifice is destined to collapse and there are no eggs under the nest, early death is a blessing. Most of the endings of the twelve hairpins are tragic, such as Yingchun ** to death, Miaoyu was plundered by the strongman, Baochai was poor and died in the snow, Sister Feng was abandoned and then cried to Jinling, and Sister Qiao was sold to a dirty land ......
Daiyu died cleanly and purely, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
